Haiti allows you to be at the interview.

It is not a requirement, however HIGHLY favored. As some COs like to see both people. You never really know if you'll be asked to have a second interview just because the petitioner was not present at the first. So, most people from Haiti choose to attend the first interview; in order to avoid possibly delaying the process and to support their partner! Welcome to VJ! and Good luck :)

Yeah, you don't have to be there at all, but especially for Haiti, it's a good idea. When my fiance and I were listening to other interviews at the Haiti embassy, the question arose repeatedly, "Why is your petitioner not here today?" That was for marriage visas, fiance visas, family based petitions, etc. etc.
